Many of you out there in blog-land have been asking me when Infinite Regress post #2 is coming. Well I do have an excuse for not updating recently. I have been so busy and haven't had the time! How does this affect you? Unfortunately, you have had to live with out my impressive word-scapes and thought provoking contemplations.
But! there is a plus side. Since I have been busy, I have experienced many things that are, like totally, blog worthy. However this engenders some problems, stylistically that is. Do I attack this in one big cluster-fuck of a blog that would be so epic that it would rival some Ph. D theses? Or do I express them in shorter bite sized tidbits leaving the reader salivating for more in a frenzy of mouse clicks and eye straining?
At this point I feel like shorter more directed vignettes would be more appropriate so the points of each section aren't muddied in what seems like a completely incoherent ramble.
Where shall we start?
Since it is the eve of the most important election in my voting career, and probably my life (though admittedly I was not as political savvy as a toddler) talking about anything else would just be silly!
It has been quite an election season, eh? Effigies, flippant remarks regarding science, the costumes, the drama, the winking, we laughed, we cried, great family fun, this summers biggest blockbuster, a whole lot of name calling and finally we all made it safely to election day (except joe the plumber's privacy and that poor girl who had a 'B' carved in her cheek). I for one am so glad tomorrow is finally upon us. It has been in my and everyone's face for too long now. Perhaps It is just me taking for granted that there are still undecided people in this country. Since my vote was cast (figuratively) long before much of the recent hubbub, I am eager to get it all over with for better or for worse. Tuesday night will be a night that I will get drunk celebrating or get drunk mourning. Being a resident of California it seems that our decision has already been made (for the better) and thus the propositions are a much more important reason to get out and vote. The most controversial, of course, being Prop 8, the equal rights or the family killing proposition (depending on what side you are on). Needless to say, one of the two interpretations is an outrageous farce that is not based at all in reality or pragmatism, but who am I to tell other people how to vote on that matter (a rational human being maybe?).
Anyway, I am getting carried away with myself. Tomorrow we, as a country, will enter the big collective voting booth. The brains will vote how the brains vote, carefully measured and well thought out. The hearts will vote how the hearts vote, with passion and conviction though sometimes misguided. And the asses and dicks will vote how asses and dicks vote, selfishly and in a way that stinks up the entire world.
Will the U.S. prove itself tomorrow or will we continue to regress, infinitely...
